A small boat harbor, used mainly by fishing boats, is dredged out of the river mouth near the town.[3] The river is a popular fishing location for king salmon in May and June, silver salmon and Dolly Varden in late summer and early fall, and steelhead in late fall.[4] Digging for razor clams along the beaches near Ninilchik is also popular.[4]
